I was never a fan of hilary, that is until last night.What a speech! Oh what could have been! If she hits the campaign trail with such passion, mccain and the republicans are toast. And her supporters who claim they cannot back obama cannot sit back and refuse to follow. The republicans will have no talking points. Hilary for 2016 has begun!
How can Hilary supporters claim to be loyal to her and not respond to her clarion call last night. Her passion left me tingling and emotionaly spellbound. Democrats of all stripes the time is now!As she said, 'did you get in the fight for me or for what we stand for? Enough said.
Why do you people constantly diss Dennis Kucinich who gave a barn-burner speech on Tues.

For those of you who are still unhappy, angry, bitter over Hillary not being chosen to run for VP, I have some questions.
Knowing that you agree in principle with someone, but that you don't enjoy their company, would you start a business with them? Knowing they are going to stand at your side and that you want to be able to sit for long hours with them, working through plans and thoughts that you hope to bring to fruition, would you choose someone who is more forceful, adamant, and tense than you are comfortable with? If you knew that this was a marriage you would have to live with for four to eight years, would YOU choose someone whose personality simply doesn't mesh with yours?
I absolutely do not believe Clinton would choose Obama to be her running mate, and it makes complete sense that he should not. To not choose her, does NOT equate to his not seeing her importance for our country. And frankly, I can't imagine Hillary wishing to be his VP. But I'm betting she'll have a very strong roll in helping us to clean up the mess Bush has created for us.
I love Hillary. But you are doing her a great disservice to wish her into a roll that would surely chafe. The lady isn't into sitting back and letting others move the world for her. Let it go. I believe in her too, and don't want her as VP because I don't want her to be second in command and don't want her to bite her tongue or have to write any more speeches that we didn't want to have her need to write.
It's Obama's time, in part because his touch feels healing. Clinton's still reminds too many of open wounds.
why it is impossible for many Hillary Clinton supporters to get behind Obama, look no further than dataguyx.
A vote for Obama is a vote for this kind of ignorance and bigotry.
If this is the kind of person who is welcome in the Democratic party, then it's no longer the Democratic party.
"I mean he is the nominee right? I know he probably wants to make a grand entrance, but in the interest of party unity, I think it would have made sense for him to be there. He's campaigning in Montana when all of the action is in Denver, I don't get it."
You must have never seen another convention. This is what always happens. The nominee only appears when he is nominated. This is very standard stuff. After all, controlling access is important to image, and image is important.
He will show up when he is needed. Others need a moment in the sun too.
If you were paying attention he said that he's been a member of the Democratic Party for his entire 56 years.
If I wanted to choose Clinton supporters, members of the same party for life, that were obnoxious enought to make me want to quit the Democratic Party, I would know exactly where to look to find them.
(and no, I'm not talking about anonymous posters online--but maybe the hillraisers who are millionare/billionares who wanted ambassadorships and are now headed back home instead of respecting their candidate's expressed wishes and supporting Obama...their kind of obnoxiousness exceeds even that of dataguyx for me...but then, in a democracy we get exactly these kind of messy scenerios..you know the politics makes strange bedfellows jazz....)
It's an obnoxious party...but it's our obnoxious party. (and no one can tell me that the Republican party doesn't have us all beat on obnoxiousness...everytime I look at Mitt Romney's face I feel an unmistakable urge to bang my head on the nearest wall...)
*sigh*
After seeing all the incredible women who came out to promote and endorse Barack Obama's candidacy last night-- including a truly powerful and almost perfect speech by Hillary Clinton herself -- I find it difficult to look at the so called PUMAs and other Democratic holdouts as anything other than what they have shown themselves to be: RACISTS. That's right, I said it. When you have so many strong and powerful women making the case for how a vote for Obama will preserve and expand the rights of women whereas a vote for McCain would simple turn back the clock, no woman can, with a straight face, say her reason for not voting for Obama is still because he "stole" the candidacy. Clearly there is more at play here -- and whether they admit it or not -- that more is sheer, blind, and ugly hatred. Shame on them. I don't know how they sleep at night, or tuck in their daughters, knowing their misguided vote, or lack thereof, could put all of our futures and all of our rights at risk...
Those who say they won't vote for Clinton if she is the nominee...

Remind me of little kids who threaten to hold their breath until they get their way. What a childish reaction. What do you think such declarations will gain you? Are we supposed to nominate "anyone but Hillary" for fear that we'll lose your precious vote if we don't? How ridiculous.
You aren't Democrats, that's for sure. You're more like Naderites, letting the perfect be the enemy of the good - just look how that turned out. Anyone who thinks another four to eight years of destructive, divisive, irresponsible, warmongering, corrupt Republican rule is better than Hillary as president is someone who isn't worth having on our side.
Go ahead, hold your breath, kick your heels, have your little tantrum. Pardon us if we ignore you until you realize you can't get exactly what you want every time with those tactics. Most children do come to realize that - you just haven't reached that stage of maturity yet.

You are comlaining about a lack of respect and of bigotry, yet in this post you show both toward Obama's Democratic supporters.
